A. \(\frac{\pi}{16}\)
B. \(\frac{\pi}{48}\)
C. \(\frac{\pi}{64}\)
D. \(\frac{1}{3}\)
E. \(\frac{1}{4}\)

The area of one circular region is 9π but we have 4 so multiply that by 4 and we have 36π.
Next the area of the entire square is 576. (24*24)
Finally, we are asked of the probability that a dart will hit the area of the circular region so we apply the simple equation: Favourable outcome / Total outcome.
36π / 576 and that simplifies to π/16
